“Should he ‘take a ruble’ for the Lord God or not to yield a single step to evil?” - [PEACE]

[Zenaan Harkness]

No matter how one "conceptualizes" or "holds" that beyond self,
perhaps as the Creator, Christ or God, perhaps Buddha or "a state of
consciousness", or simply that which is beyond current knowing, each
human worthy of that term has a conscience, whereby "I know good and
evil, and I choose to do good, not evil".

Even the most existential who put their neurone into contemplation
are generally capable of finding something magical in the
externalities of life/ existence (the macro and the micro) and an
inherent purpose in living for a greater purpose than mere self and a
nihilistic existence of immediate gratification and self
satisfaction, and even here, right thinking, righteous cause and
right action are surely the primary fundamentals for "feeling good
about myself" in the here and now?


  May you find that which, in your clearest moment of succinct
  insight into your greatest causes for the continuance of your
  being, you would at the very least want for yourself.

  May you find that which your Soul seeks for you.


Peace,

A few months before he was due to graduate with honours from the
Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, Ivan Kramskoy (1837-1887)
organized the notorious ‘Revolt of the 14.” He led a group of his
best friends (who also happened to be the most promising students of
the graduating class of 1864) as they marched into the university
main office and furiously presented a list of complaints and demands
to the administration. They proudly denounced the unbearable
constraints of academic art, it’s strict delineations between high
and low art, it’s deadness and impotency.
